Color Multifunction Printers

Print Quality

Many factors determine the quality of the print output delivered by a color multi­function printer. Printhead technology and image resolution, color registration and accu-

racy, and intuitive, user-friendly color adjustments are all key components of a printer’s
ability to deliver the results you demand to bring your high-end color print jobs in-house.

How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530
/ 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction
printer exceeds the print quality
requirement

Color registration and accuracy

With an ASIC driver to control the light intensity
of the LEDs in each printhead, HiQ LED offers

better dot-to-dot intensity and timing control,

Precise Color Registration

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545

/ 7556 digitally adjusts for mis-registration.

Notice the white edges on the “G” and “M”
produced by the laser device. The WorkCentre
7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 automati-

cally makes the necessary adjustments.

WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556

and produces more precise color registration.

HiQ LED handles mis-registration issues auto-

matically, simultaneously and continuously,

from LED to LED. In fact, tests show that HiQ
LED technology corrects color mis-registration

even better than comparable laser printers.

Plus, true Adobe
give you the power to print visually rich docu­ments reliably.

Printhead technology and image resolution

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545
/ 7556 multifunction printer features the new

Xerox HiQ LED printhead, which offers major

improvements in image quality.

The “brain” behind the entire print-head process

is Xerox’s new application speci c integrated
circuit (ASIC) driver chip. This high-performance

driver precisely controls the intensity and

timing LEDs in each printhead to achieve true
1200 x 2400 dpi resolution—print quality

that’s equivalent to, and often better than,
comparable laser systems. By continually and
automatically monitoring information about

each LED, the ASIC driver can adjust each

®

PostScript® 3™, PCL® and XPS

diode’s light intensity and timing. This ensures

uniformity across the entire LED array—and

produces consistently high print quality without
compromising the printer’s high-speed output.
Whether printing spreadsheets, presentations
or customer collaterals, the WorkCentre 7525
/ 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 delivers truly
impressive results.

Plus, Xerox EA Ultra Low-Melt toner—chemically

grown to produce the market’s smallest, most

uniformly shaped particles—delivers sharper

clarity, excellent shadowing and outstanding

 ne-line detail.

Unique color control

Our “Color By Words,” a powerful-yet-intuitive color
technology, takes the guesswork out of optimizing

your color print jobs. With Color By Words there is
no need to manipulate source  les. Users simply
select the desired color modi cations from a
drop-down list—such as “green colors a lot more
green” or “red colors a lot more saturated”—and
the image is automatically adjusted.

Color Multifunction Printers

Productivity

In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall
throughput. Are the device’s scanning and faxing features powerful enough to sup-

port the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriately sized for
the entire workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are employ­ees forced to wait for the device to become “free”? Is the system designed to minimize
network trafc? Can device functions be monitored from users’ desktops and/or from
the front panel user interface?

How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530
/ 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction
printer exceeds the productivity
requirement

Speed

The productivity of the WorkCentre 7525 /
7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 starts with its fast
print engine. The WorkCentre 7500 series deliv­ers a print speed of up to 55 ppm for black­and-white and 50 ppm color output. Powerful
scanning capabilities include scanning at up
to 70 ipm, and support for multiple scanning

destinations. Duplex printing is just as fast

as printing single-sided documents, and the

Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF)
includes paper capacity of up to 110 sheets. All
WorkCentre 7500 series congurations come
with a powerful 1.5 GHz processor and 2 GB of
system plus 1 GB page memory. The controller

enables the WorkCentre 7500 series to deliver

fast rst-page-out times as fast as 5.8 seconds

for black-and-white and 7.2 seconds for color.

Plus, our Smart RIP technology allows the rst

page to start printing while subsequent pages
are still processing.

Network performance

Performance isn’t limited to raw document
feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530
/ 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer
features a high-performance processor plus

a 160 GB hard drive, delivering the necessary

horsepower to process your large, complex

jobs. In addition, 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet

connectivity comes standard for shared network

printing, and optional adapters for 10Base5
and 802.11b wireless Ethernet ensure you can

connect WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545
/ 7556 device according to your workgroup’s

specic needs.

File compression

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /
7556 lets you access scanned documents faster,

with advanced le compression techniques that
dramatically shrink le sizes, reduce storage

space requirements and cut down on your

network’s document trafc.

Concurrency

The new WorkCentre controller’s advanced
design also helps avoid bottlenecks at the front
panel. Concurrent operation means you won’t

have to wait until a long print job is complete
before programming a fax, scan or copy job. By

keeping the front panel available for program­ming while the print engine is busy, users
stay productive and avoid idle time. Scan and

fax jobs can be programmed and executed

without waiting for the print engine to become

available, while newly programmed copy jobs
will join the job queue and be executed when
earlier jobs are completed.

Monitoring system status

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 /
7556 multifunction printer delivers up-to-date

information on every job — print, copy, scan,

email or fax, plus in-depth device status details.
Whether at the device or from the desktop,

users can easily manage documents and jobs
through an integrated job queue.
